I need HELP.

Robecology comments on Jun 2, 2019:

I'm a 73 year old gent who's been divorced since '06...and in and out of a Long distance relationship; so I can sort of identlfy. It's a very important question that needs to be asked to a pro - your GP at least, more appropriately, your Urologist. He won't ask you ....you have to ask him. But having said that... There's several things to consider; 1. Are the women who are "coming on" to you (the 200 horny old women) attractive to you? If they're not a "turn-on" then you might be normal, but your intimate associates are just not inspiring you. Perhaps it's time to find a younger/youthful woman who is, in turn, turned on by you? 2. You might have to accept the fact that sexual intimacy is over in your life. A wife of 65 years will leave such a deep impression on your psyche that no woman might ever satisfy you or stimulate you again. 3. Consider all the options besides intercourse. Oral sex can be fun...and stimulating to you! 4. If you have the $$ and the options to travel, consider visiting or calling a "sex therapist". I haven't found any, but I would gladly pay for a young lady to "come in to my life" with the possibility of giving me sexual pleasure and even company. The world's oldest profession has not made many strides in legally "attending" to the many elder senior men in this world. Make your interests and availability known; starting with your GP and Urologist...then talk to friends.

How inappropriate to call this planet Earth, when it is clearly Ocean. - Arthur C. Clarke

Robecology comments on Jun 2, 2019:

Indeed; With 70% of the planet covered by Ocean, it is by far the predominant habitat. And the most advanced species on the planet is not the earth-dwelling human; it's the several groups of Ocean dwelling Cetaceans. The whales and Dolphins. Consider; -they have no homes. -no factories -no money -no farms -no schools -no places of worship All they do, all day, is eat, play, and make love. They have no clothes. -no armies -no technology -no hospitals -no doctors -no funerals -no cancer Yet they have an advanced form of communication - both inter and intra-species. They have one natural enemy; the land dwelling homo sapiens have invented boats and some populations still hunt and kill them. Others trap them for their entertainment. We generally don't consider them "advanced" because they haven't developed the complex, land-dominating lifestyle that we have. But we still seek intelligent life communications on distant stars... Perhaps we should look more closely at the advanced life forms already here?

"Going Out" does have a challenge to it these days. Let me give you a guy's perspective. ...First let me I apologize on behalf of any men who ASSumed you wanted to be grabbed, cat-called...too many of us just stand back and admire cutie-beauties who enter bars... ...but that gets us no "contact"...so those who touch and catcall are simply reaching out...hoping you're interested and will respond...but if you're not "lit" (high, buzzed, drunk) then you're likely to offend...or be offended. Yes; The bars are loud (and used to be smoky up until the 80's-90's). Yes; The public dating scene isn't nearly as nice as it used to be. IYes; t's more like a "rite" or partnership-seeking ritual that the very young must experience. Yes; The alcohol does lend to the "looseness" of it all... The guy strategy is - if you are rude, you make contact. If you stand back and are "nice" you go home empty handed. The woman strategy seems to be if you're tolerant of the rudeness you make contact. If not - you go home empty handed. On line dating came along just in time, IMO...it allows you to see, get to know, and become familiar with potential partners before the public "rite" is attended. So your commitment to date with a mutual interest that's already established is wise, and mature...Use A.com to meet fellow Agnostics in your neighborhood... But remember; going "out" to the "bar scene" even with a "mutual-interest-friend" is still a form of the " partnership-seeking ritual" of the young....

Robecology comments on Jun 1, 2019:

No; I honestly don't see the hypocrisy of being intensely concerned about conservation ecology, yet also being a meat eater. Several reasons; #1 You don't have to eat "high" on the food chain to have a diet that includes meat. You can use more fish and birds (chicken) and fewer hooved animals (beef, sheep, pork). Almost all of the meat available today is sustainable, not endangered nor threatened. #2. There's lots of research going on to make easy-to-grow insects, yeast, and other non-animal sources in to a food powder that's the main ingredient in "impossible-burgers"...https://www.mygenefood.com/i-ate-an-impossible-burger-wish-i-hadnt/ #3. Plastics are also going through changes. Many are now plant-based. Many now have a much faster decomposition built in to their molecular structure. They're thinner...even the caps are smaller. #4. Animal gas and wastes account for only 9% of greenhouse gases. see this; https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/styles/medium/public/2019-04/total-ghg-2019.jpg #5. The two biggest factors that affects your carbon footprint is your family size choice and your primary car choice. https://www.footprintcalculator.org People- couples who are child-free and drive an E.V. have a far smaller Eco footprint - - - - - - - - - - - If you're serious about reducing emissions, changing your diet is not too effective. Restoring, Renewing, Reusing, and Recycling is effective. Family planning is effective. Car choice is effective. Lifestyle changes with plastics, avoiding balloon use, etc is far more effective than eating lower on the food chain (more vegan, less/no meat).

Robecology comments on Jun 1, 2019:

From the article .... "But understand if you want to change (and I am encouraging change where needed) that you go about a systematic approach understanding what you want to change, getting very clear about the specific thing you want to change." "Perhaps the thing is, “I no longer want to experience anxiety when I’m speaking publicly.” "This thing isn’t just going to go away. " "You’ve got to be methodical, scientific, about how you change behaviour, because you’re up against your biology." Good recommendations - IMO.... So in a nutshell; 1.Be specific 2. Take on/tackle one specific thing at a time. 3. Be methodical. Follow the recommended steps. Good advice; the problem is most will make excuses, not read the entire article, and wallow in their suffering. Read the many excuses from the responders, below. "it's often hard" or "I can't sustain" Thanks for sharing this; but too many "aren't ready" to heal themselves; IMO.

Robecology comments on May 31, 2019:

Of all the groups on Agnostic, I trust the honesty of the Conservatives and the Republicans the least. Remember; a "pillar of foundation" for both is a **"belief in God".**... So I'd take what they say with a grain fo salt... **I tried joining and debating **in both groups; and I got hate-filled, rude responses - and then I was blocked out. But in my opinion, they're trying to minimize what most of us know is true; ....that **Russian groups hacked in to our social media** ...that the Russian people are generally a sad, poor, and struggling group; but their leadership is still quite corrupt and greedy. and certain groups of technically savvy people who love Putin worked diligently to follow the lead of their leader and support Trump's win and discourage Clinton's. ...they came close to proving that these Russians (again - not all) had significant affects on our 2016 election....but many "leads" were lost. There's been many **unexplained deaths** for those connected with the Steele Dossier on Trump ( I'm attaching a copy; worth the read - 35 pages long!). ...if more of the Steele Dossier was proven true, then Trump's presidency would have been annulled. - - - - - - - - - - - The evidence of their tapping in to our social media was found in part because they worked so feverishly they got sloppy and some of our counter espionage agents picked it up.

Kansas researchers? Here is what they say about human evolution. [bigthink.com]

Robecology comments on May 30, 2019:

It makes sense that not only were there much more signs of Carbonisation (burning) of vast areas during man's evolution due to the increased lighting during those times; but forest fires had to have been much larger in our ancient past. Consider this; if a forest fire started...it's very likely that whole regions - perhaps even a whole continent - had their forests "Carbonized" or reduced to charcoal. And thus; if there was a series of huge fires then many of our tree-dwelling relatives transitioned to 2-legged mobility....and two legged mobility was favored to survive running away from fires better! There were no roads. There were no vast areas cleared for development. So it was much easier for a forest fire to spread, covering vast regions. ...and these events might have accelerated the bi-pedalization (getting around on 2 feet) of our ancestors!

But please; do realize that it's at that baby stage; the stage of that child in the image, above; where our diet habits start. yep; before we could walk and talk - our time to snack...and what to snack on - were ingrained in to our brains. So we have to be gentle on ourselves...disciplined....but gentle. This is a long, tough battle to fight. It is "battling obesity"

Stevenson was my Dad's choice over Ike. Ike ended up doing a good job...but Adlai was a good, down to earth candidate. I remember my dad's lapel pin representing Stevenson; it was a shoe with a hole in the center of the sole...

Flat earth believers say, that as water is ALWAYS flat, and finds it's own level, that this proves ...

Robecology comments on May 30, 2019:

The Flat Earth society was started as a joke a few years ago... Nerds noticed how gullible too many folk were, and are...buying in to "chemtrail" theories, and such.... So they thought it would be "good fun" to push it... They provided some "pseudo-evidence" and were almost shocked by the response... ...kInd of like I was shocked to learn that so many Americans voted for Trump and are still #religulous. ...and recently a man built and launched a rocket with himself in it so he could "see" that the earth was flat for himself.... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2018/03/25/an-amateur-rocket-maker-finally-launched-himself-off-earth-now-to-prove-its-flat/?utm_term=.8dfce6df7c5e So please; don't give them audience...you're encouraging their massive delusion with garbage like this.

Robecology comments on May 30, 2019:

False parallel. We need our blood to get a good "rusting"....to change the O2 deficient "blueish" Hemoglobin (inside Red blood cells) to a bright rusty red in order to carry that O2 to our body cells. That's why our "veins" are bluish in color...they carry the O2 deficient RBC's back to the heart and lung for another dose. But this form of iron is not pure (not "elemental" iron); so it has no magnetic properties. Now; technically "oxidation" of our cells helps them work...but also helps them "age". They sell "anti-oxidants" for a reason...and if we get a healthy dose of them (vitamin E, for example) we're minizing the "oxidation" of our body cells while maximizing the energy output. So either make sure your diet is rich in anti-oxidants, or take a good vitamin....it's insurance against aging too fast. https://www.quora.com/If-the-blood-in-our-body-contains-iron-why-doesnt-it-rust Interesting side note; Hemoglobin and Chlorophyll are structurally identical; but the metal compound in Chorophyll is magnesium. Imagine if some mad scientist figured out a way for us to produce Chlorophyll...we wouldn't have to eat...just lay in the sun (of course, it would make our skin "green".)

I think Christians made a bad play by suggesting an "existance" of hell... - it does imply you will live forever...which is better than any implication of the nothingness of returning to dust and ash. -It does seem that even at our worst "suffering" experiences...that they were tolerable...I mean...what is eternal "damnation" anyway....people punishing you endlessly for no reason? It seems that we've all lived through what seemed like an eternity of punishment... I recall being drunk for several days. Being sick -throwing up for many days. Being depressed for weeks/months on end.... I guess it's like being suicidal only you can't kill yourself? You're stuck with dealing with the worst cold and depression for a long, long time? ...yep...bad idea.

Trump will get re-elected President of the USA.

"Dated" to be allegedly** 50 million years old.** **When...not if...but when they come out with a more universal, simple to operate stone and ancient materials dating tool... ....**then we can finally put to rest the "earth made in 6 days" joke pointed out by the #Religulous....** Right now, only major college science buildings and large science-based corporations house radiometric dating tools. There have been many that have risen over the past century; some more specific than others.**.. ....but what we need is a simple, portable, relatively inexpensive one. Present costs and times are in the thousands of dollars, and in the time frame of many weeks and often months before a date is confirmed in a sample. Right now; the #religulous argue that these "ages" are randomly assigned, and/or they charge lots of money (so they're greedy) and/or the age-dating process is obscure, complicated, and thus hard to comprehend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiometric_dating

The main reason why we're there; The Opium Poppy. Opium. Opioids. Heroin. 80% from Afghanistan. 20% from Mexico, China, and other sources. That's why we stay there. The United States is grappling with one of its worst-ever drug crises. More than nine hundred people a week die from opioid-related overdoses, and some experts say the death toll may not peak for years. Meanwhile, millions more Americans suffer from opioid addiction. "... most of the world’s heroin comes from Afghanistan..." https://cfrd8-files.cfr.org/sites/default/files/styles/large_xl/public/image/2017/10/Global%20Heroin%20Flows.png

I prepped a simple will a few years ago...then made the mistake of going to another lawyer who made a "revokable trust" which is ten times more complicated. I'm not sure I did the right thing....I can barely comprehend what's written...

I've never really done the dirty talk thing.
